A Little nklrnlsh.

A rather unpleasant alteration took
place at the meeting OF the Heavenly
Recruits, on Walnut street between
Fifth and Sixth streets, last evening,
owing TO one OF the evangelists giving
the coat tail of the other q slight jerk,
In order to induce him TO bring his ex-
hortation TO y termination. Inttead OF
taking the hint kindly, the spirit of
the old Adam was fully aroused and q
serious contest for o time seemed immi.
n,nt. The old lesson Do as say and
not rs DO" was again repeated, but
the ptople are ceneorious ard will talk.

A STRINGA BLossOK,

Just simple flower, but 1t brings to rs
vision of years gone by;
| OF my old home nestled among the hills
And above it Yirginia's blue sky;
| And the garden-the thought of It comes to
! me now,
| With sad, and lingering pain,
| While fast on the blossom hold in nv hand
The tear drops are falling like rain.
In dreams stand, as 1 often stoed,
syringa bloom in my hand;
AND watch the children come mp from the
| spring,
| merry, though sable hued band;
see them go in at the garden gate,
| And water the flowers with care
And the quaint old songs they used to sing
Seem to float once more through the air.
l gather the violets that bordered the walk
And white lilies, with stamens of gold,
On rear to the light the fragile stalk
Where the haIebells' beauty unfold
l stand by the starry white jessamine bush.
And inhale the subtle perfume,
Or gather the clusters of sweet Glove pinks,
And stray where the columbines bloom.
Gull the pelunias, verbenas and stocks
The snap dragons and larkspur so blue,
The sweet yellow jasmine, the cowsliP, and
phlOX,
And roses of every hue.
make bouquet of the white daily tea,
With blue violets and sweet mignonette,
Those old-fashioned flowers that my father
loved best
All! how memory hallows them yet.
That household band Is all scattered now,
The flowers of my childhood are dead,
Each cherished spot, each familiar room,
Now echoes the strangers tread.
The SHOWS of time lie thick in my hair,
Years have brought me both joy and pain,
But in dreams Pm a child without sorrow or
care,

An Interesting case, involving, it is be-
lieVed, terrible miscarriage of Justice,
will shortly be revised by the Competent
court at Jicin, in Bohemia. Six years ago
the Assize court at Tabor sentenced to
sixteen years. penal servitude a man
named Jelinek, found guilty by the Jury
OF attempting to poison his wife.
After the trial Frau Jelinek obtained g.
separation, went to America and married.
She has just written to her parents to say
that her former husband was innocent.
She herself put the poison in the plate of
preserves in order to get up a charge
against Jelinek, and thus to obtain a sep
aration. He has already undergone five
and one-half years of the penalty.

THE EARTEEQUAkE.

The earthquake was the leading
topic of conversation on the street
yesterday. "he APPEAL feels Ger.
tain that it has given Carson a
somewhat larger shock than was
recently experienced in Reno. 1t
was, however, not so strong as sew
eral shocks which have at times
past been experienced here, and
was not sufficiently strong to alarm
anyone as to Nevada's future.
The idea in the minds of super
stitious people that such things
portend the end of the world is only
based on ignorance and supersti-
ton. Men of science all agree that
the earthquake is a sure sign that
the world is still alive and undergo
ing some such an affair that we
designate as cramps and collie in

4 VULGAR BUSINESS BASIS
The Reno Gazette says:

The Reno Gazette says:
THE most moving disclosures as
to the dire effects of the interstate
Commerce law comes from Ohio.
There it is alleged the area of re-
ciprocal good feeling, amicable sem
timents and general amity existing
between public officials and the
railroad corporations has been
wholly destroyed by the abolition
OF passes.
1T is alleged that since the passes
OF county auditors have been cut
off, those officers have conceived
the remarkable idea that railroad
property Is worth as much as any
other real estate. The corporations
are on the verge of having to pay
full rates Of taxation; and the whole
business of assessment and pay
ment of taxes is on the brink of be
ing reduced to a vulgar business
basis.
Likewise it is intimated that
since newspapers passes became
scarce and hard to get at, the press
of Ohio has cultivated a remarka
BILE frankness in giving the bald
facts as to railroad accidents and
corporation fights with the corr ers
unrounded. This is also very un-
comfortable and 'displeasing expert
ence for the railroad officials and
produces much objurgation concern
Ing that internal law
1T would not be surprising, says
the Pittshurs Dispatch. if the Ohio
railroads should discover, as the
Pennsylvania roads have, that the
law permits certain degree Of lib
erty in the issue of passes. But
until they do so, the general public
will be likely to grin and bear these
novel effects Of the railroad con-
struction of the law, with undis-
turbed equsnimitv.

Glass distinctions are wholly ignored

was illustrated in the pithily narrated
circumstance by Judge Tillman of the

what to him, must have been a verita-

Manatee to Sara Sofa.
The Ducal party, leaving the yacht
at Tampa and going to Manatee on the
steamer Margaret, took hacks at the
Town Of Manatee for Sara Sofa. The
Jehu of one vehicle was a kentuckian,
VINO was a simon-pure cracker, unsur-
passed by the Florida cracker in his
native Wilds
As they drove slowly along the sandy
road the driver waXed communicative
and singled out his Grace as the OBJ
iect of his attention and patronage, al
ways addressing him as 'Mr. Duke. "
As the day wore on and Jehu felt that
Duke vas a kindred spirit from .'furren
parts and fur back" he grew con-
hdential and familiar, calling the Duke
III Il iocular manner Capt. Duke
The Duke good-naturedly responded to
his drivers comments in dignifed
way, showing by neither glance or
word that he thought him too familiar
upon short acquaintance, even when
the large, sun-brOWned hand was laid
patronizingly upon his shoulder, or he
was tapped famiIiarly on the back or
punched in the ribs to have his august
attention directed to some trivial cir
cumstance.
At length a halt was called and the
party refreshed the inner man with
wine. The Dukes light flannel coat
became caught over the ivory handle
of a dagger worn in the pistol-pocket
of his breeches.
Hold on, Capt. Duke" called the
driver; your coat is caught in your
britches; let me take it out" and Jehu
drew down the offending garment and
fell to work vigorously dUsting Capt.
Duke" remarking that he was
''moughty dusty"
Upon Jehu's return to Manatee,
when the joke was told on him to a
group of gentlemen who became con-
vulSed with laughter, he was not one
whit crestfallen, but exclaimed:
Well. l swear! heard you all call
him Duke, Duke and l thought that
was his name, so to be polite l called
him Mr.. and Cappen Duke.s
After moments brown study he ex
claimed, with true American spirit,
I'll be -- if l amt as good as he is
NEUTRALITY-SUSPICIOUS. Times Ugton
